The report gives an overview of the cruise of R/V Kilo Moana, a US flagged science vessel belonging to the Office of Navel Research and operated by the University of Hawaii. The cruise took place during 2007 and was organised around a US National Science Foundation funded study of the diversity and activity of nitrogen-fixing organisms (diazotrophs).
High-resolution swath mapping, using multibeam echo sounder was used to delineate the seabed morphology around Madang ,Papua New guinea at the maximum depth coverage in the lagoon of 50 m at the entrance around the southern end,near the main harbour.
